Let's use this gen ending sales as an example of how next gen sales might go. PS3 has outsold xbox 360 for almost every year. This year PS3 is handily outselling xbox. PS did all of this with a bad launch, higher price vs. xbox, psn outage and issues, and consumer backlash with the taking away of otherOS. Now with the ps4 taking care of all of its shortcomings and with M$ in real bad light I can make a conservative prediction of ps4 outselling xbox worldwide 1.5:1 Lifetime.


I dont know why people always bring up all the negative things the ps3 went through when talking about how the ps3 eventually overcame the 360.  You do realize that the 360 probably had an even worse launch, and struggled for 3 years with some of the biggest consumer backlashes ever with its rrod right?  Or that xbox live cost momey and psn didnt.  Its not like sony conquered some opponent who did everything right.  They both struggled, a lot, but the 360 made even more mistakes than the ps3 did. 

Sony certainly seems poised to take the lead next gen, for sure.  However, who knows what kind of problems can happen, may the ps4 will have a rrod type of disaster.  There is a lot more that can go wrong besides pricing.  

When you have two console with nearly the same game but a little bit better in one console and with a 200 dollars difference between the two it easy to know that people will buy the less expensive console.

And ps2 still outsold xbox and xbox360 so it's not true xbox brand is more popular then Playstation brand.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
